AI improves education access and quality worldwide

AI is emerging as a potential solution to improve education access and quality worldwide. It can personalize learning experiences and address educational disparities, which affect millions of children, even in wealthy countries. Examples include YetiConfetti, which aids language learning in diverse classrooms, and Musa, which uses WhatsApp for micro-learning in underserved areas. Kraft Education's Hunu app supports special needs students in Ghana, while MakerGhat in India focuses on skills training to combat youth unemployment. To effectively integrate AI in education, stakeholders must address challenges like bias and cultural relevance. A framework emphasizing awareness, appreciation, acceptance, and accountability can help educators and institutions harness AI's strengths while maintaining the essential human element in teaching.
